2017 High Risk List – Management of Programs that Serve Indian Tribes and Their Members (video)
This year, we added management of programs that serve Indian tribes and their members to our High Risk List—our biennial report highlighting areas particularly susceptible to fraud, waste, abuse, mismanagement, or needing a fundamental transformation.
The United States has a unique responsibility to protect and support Indian tribes and their members. But for a decade, multiple oversight organizations—including GAO—have raised concerns that the federal government is ineffectively managing programs intended to serve them.
Watch Melissa Emrey-Arras, a director in our Education, Workforce, and Income Security team, explain why we added management of such programs that serve tribes and their members to our latest High Risk List.
